Players will have to build their stone towers by acquiring stones from specific merchants visiting their village. However, the dense fog in these regions can disorient the yaks and make your construction plan fall apart. Review: Fun and simple - This is an easy game to learn and fun to play. We love the toy factor here. It's so much fun to load the yak carts and drive them around. Review: Impressive components - This game definitely has the wow factor when it comes to components! From the colorful large wooden blocks to the adorable yaks and carts. The game was easy to learn and fun to play. It’s very replay able with multiple game variations. Cons: - one of my carts arrived broken, this was a manufacturing issue, not a shipping issue. - the mountain needs to be assembled and disassembled each game play, which is a bit of a board game pet peeve of mine. - the box is just a little too small for the components to fit comfortably ## Features - BUILD HIGHER, HIGHER AND HIGHER! In Yak, the village elder has given you the task of constructing a great stone tower to help traveling merchants and their yaks find your village in the Himalayas. - STRATEGY BOARD GAME: Each player strategically builds their Stone Tower by trading food to specific merchants for stones. Each turn, a yak pulls its cart into your village. Will you find stones for your tower, or food for your reserves? Or will you need to visit the market to find what you need? - CHALLENGING AND COMPETITIVE: The dense fog in this region might disorient the yaks at any time and ruin your construction plan. Each Fog stone drawn switches the flow of the game. Work through the fog and the strategy of your opponents and build your way to victory! - FUN FOR ALL AGES: The basics of the game are easy to learn, but strategy is required to master it. While choices in Yak are simple - take resources or build your wall, the shared resource market and moving yaks means every choice you make will affect the other players. - NUMBER OF PLAYERS AND AVERAGE PLAYTIME: This fun family game is made for 2 to 4 players and is suitable for ages 8 and older. Average playtime is approximately 45 minutes. - Number of items: 1 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09YNPKFY8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #302,395 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #4,620 in Game Accessories #8,518 in Board Games (Toys & Games) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (78) | | Item Weight | 4.89 pounds | | Item model number | PZG20080EN | | Language | Italian | | Manufacturer | Pretzel Games | | Manufacturer recommended age | 8 years and up | | Product Dimensions | 11.63 x 11.63 x 2.88 inches | | Release date | July 1, 2022 | ## Images ![Yak - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yJwUqGLML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun and simple *by M***N on February 13, 2023* This is an easy game to learn and fun to play.
